A student expectation is directly related to the knowledge and skills statement, is more specific about how students demonstrate their learning, and always begins with a verb. Student expectations are further broken down into their component parts, often referred to as “breakouts.”
Vertical alignment shows student expectations in the same subject area at different grade levels that are related to or build upon one another.
explain how pushes and pulls can start, stop, or change the speed or direction of an object's motion; and
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation that predicts how pushes and pulls can start, stop, or change the speed or direction of an object's motion.
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate how the strength of a push and pull changes an object's motion.
plan and conduct a descriptive investigation to demonstrate and explain how position and motion can be changed by pushing and pulling objects such as swings, balls, and wagons.
Patterns are regular sequences that can be found throughout nature.
Patterns in an object's speed and direction are caused by the equal and unequal forces acting on it. For example, if two students push on identical objects with equal amounts of force, the two objects should behave similarly. If the two students push on a single object with equal amounts of force in opposite directions, the object should not change its motion.
Cause-and-effect relationships are relationships between two or more variables or phenomena whereby one variable or event leads to a predictable response. Events have causes—sometimes simple, sometimes multi-faceted.
Unbalanced forces acting on an object (cause) will change its motion (effect). Balanced forces acting on an object will not change the object's motion.
It is important to consider how changes in scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system’s structure or performance. Scale refers to the size of an object in relation to another object or its environment. Proportion is the ratio of one quantity to another. Quantity is a count of a set of objects or a measurement of a substance.
Forces can be described by quantities of amount and strength.
Matter and energy are conserved, changing forms but maintaining quantities. Energy flows within a system or between systems through transfers and transformations. Matter is cycled within systems through physical and chemical processes.
Change in the motion of an object is the observable evidence of energy being transferred to the object by forces.
